Victor Vasarely
Victor Vasarely was born in Pecs, Hungary in the year 1906 and studied art at the art academy in Budapest. At the academy he learned about contemporary research regarding color and optics with Jaohannes Itten, and the Constructivists Malevich and Kandinsky. Victor Vasarely's first solo exhibition was in 1930 in Budapest, and for the next 13 years after this he devoted his time to graphic studies in Paris. Victor Vasarely had a fascination with linear patterns prompted him to draw abstract patterned subjects like his series of checkers, tigers and zebras. During this time Victor Vasarely also created 3-dimensional works by utilizing layers of cellophane to create illusions of depth. By 1943 Victor Vasarely was working with oil paints and creating both abstract and figurative compositions. In 1947 Victor Vasarely had a solid vision of his place in abstract art, where he felt that internal geometry was in existence below the surface of the whole world. He concluded that form and color were inseperable and completely dependent on one another. Throughout the 1950's Victor Vasarely wrote a series of personal manifestos regarding the use of optics for artistic endeavors. Victor Vasarely played a large part in the development of Op Art, and continues to inspire young artists today.
